In 2024 & 2025, our MIC Organizing Institute brought together cohorts of participants to build a strategic alliance of grassroots healers/health practitioners seeking to build interventions within the Medical Industrial Complex (MIC).
The cohorts combined facilitated learning, collaborative practice, and strategy building. The curriculum covered a range of topics including:
- Relationship building and skilling up for strategies to interrupt the MIC;
- History and timeline of eugenics, colonization, and racial capitalism as root causes of the prison and Medical Industrial Complex;
- Analysis building of political frameworks including: healing justice, disability justice, transformative justice and reproductive justice, environmental justice and harm reduction;
- Understandings of complex trauma and its impact on both systems and individuals working within those systems;
- Introduction to HHP’s MIC Timeline, and how to use it to disrupt and organize;
- Tools for mapping context and conditions in participants’ work & regions to support building interventions.
Stay tuned for future cohorts!
